Last week my wife and I were going through her collection of tanto, and I noted that both of her tanto with large kissaki (O-Kissaki, or 大鋒) are from the the Nanbokucho era, and we were wondering how common is this? If you're not familiar with this type of Tanto, as you can see in my photo below, these blades are characterized by their tips' significant lengths, appearing visually dominant and longer than the width of the blades. From what we could find, this was desiged to provide some kind of enhanced slicing power for cutting through armor and/or follows the popular Nanbokucho style that was to create the impression of powerful battlefield swords. What are you thoughts? Let me know what you think...
